Re: Copier Parts & Accessories China Tariff Starts in 9 Working Days
Canada charges a 270% tariff because the US has a massive over supply of milk production. If US dairy product was to enter Canada without tariffs it would destroy our perfectly working dairy industry. Why should the USA be allowed to destroy our milk industry so as to partially solve a problem created within the USA? Besides, how do you think Canada maintains its "free" single payer health care system. It is by charging high taxes on all consumer purchases. I do not think that anybody thinks...

Re: Copier Parts & Accessories China Tariff Starts in 9 Working Days
What about the term "Free Trade" do you not understand? You argue the advantages of lower lumber prices for Americans while disputing the value of lower dairy prices for Canadians. Free trade suggests that the market should decide what is best for the consumer. Free trade would also suggest that your exorbantly high taxes really shouldn't be a factor. We should probably leave the health care debate out of the equation. I for one would rather have what we have than what the Canadians have,...

Re: CBS NEWS REPORT ON COPIER SECURITY
Well.... not really. I do agree there is a "concern" about your info left on the copier. However, the vast majority of copiers will have little or nothing of value and it'd take me a significant amount of time to determine if the copier had anything worth taking. Give that I'd have to pay at LEAST $300 (as in the CBS story) for just the CHANCE to find out if there may be some shred of info there, I think it's very doubtful any identity thief would pursue this. Even if they did, it would...

Re: Sales Commission Comp Package

Re: Canon shaking up the great white north
Are we seeing a new business model emerge? Ricoh will sell off the mid market business and focus entirely on health care, government, and global accounts? It appears they are at least exploring the possibility.

Re: Canon shaking up the great white north
One thing to think of is Regina where this happened is the provincial capital of Saskatchewan which is currently the strongest economic province in Canada (due to resources being super strong right now) so Ricoh is not going to be doing provincial government, health care etc. direct anymore in this province. That is a significant move and really does show that their direct model cannot cut it in the smaller markets.. They are not corporately dealer friendly so it will be interesting to see...

Re: Pay Plan
I think that service should get to retain some of the "after the sale" business. I also think there are great opportunities to make extra money once systems have been installed. In the NY metro area, prices are very competitive, on going service and maintenance costs plays a big roll in the decesion making part of the business. Dave is right, if the customer has perceived that there is value and the customer will receive some type of benefit, whether it be a monetary ROI or a increased...
